How GoGo Inflight Wifi Service Works
From Gogo: "How does Gogo turn your "airliner" into an "onliner"? Gogo uses cell tower communications with ground-based phones and pointed it skyward. Aircell, the company behind Gogo, has built a mobile broadband network of ground towers covering the entire sky above the continental US. Equipment onboard your plain continuously selects the best signals from the towers below. With nothing but air between these towers and your plane, you're always getting the best connection."
